My Greatest Adventure is a DC Comics comic book that began in 1955 and is best known for introducing the superhero team Doom Patrol.[1][2][3][4]
The title was originally an anthology series with adventure stories told in the first-person narrative. Over time the types of stories changed from simple adventure stories to science fiction. With issue #80 (June 1963), the anthology format was dropped and replaced with stories featuring the Doom Patrol. Issue #85 was the last to bear the My Greatest Adventure title; the series was renamed The Doom Patrol going forward from issue #86.[3]
Issues #80–85 were reprinted as part of The Doom Patrol Archives, Vol. 1 (2002, ISBN 1-56389-795-4).
